Property Description for 234 East 70th Street, PH

This luxuriously appointed 2,600 square foot 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence offers the privacy and grandeur of townhouse-style living at penthouse heights with 600 square feet of outdoor space at 234 East 70th Street, a boutique condominium in the heart of the Upper East Side.

Enter from the 8th floor through a keyed elevator and be greeted by an expansive 20-foot living room with adjacent Poggenpohl kitchen with Miele appliances, Caesarstone counter and open bar area as well as dining alcove. Through a pair of massive glass doors, this entire space flows seamlessly into a large terrace looking North onto tree-lined East 70th Street, making this home ideal for those who enjoy entertaining.

Toward the rear of the first level, a gallery leads past multiple closets as well as two bathrooms, one half and one full. Beyond, two additional rooms occupy the southern end of the first level and are currently configured as a media room with custom built-ins as well as additional bedroom. Either of these rooms can be repurposed, with one being a formal dining room.

Ascending to the second level, two more rooms of similar proportion currently function as a bedroom as well as home office but may be converted according to need. Both of these rooms are served by a second, beautifully renovated full bathroom with Ann Sacks tile, spa tub and overhead rain shower, and adjacent washer/dryer that vents to the outside.

The master suite encompasses the remainder of the second floor featuring its own private terrace, making this a perfect sanctuary sectioned off from the rest of the residence. Closet space abounds with a large, windowed walk-in closet offering custom built-ins as well as a true dressing room with four full walls of custom built-in shelving. The dressing room leads into a secluded and beautifully appointed master bathroom which boasts a sizeable linen closet, floor-to-ceiling tiling, calacatta marble, a double vanity as well as double-sided spa shower. This residence also offers a fully equipped Crestron system to control your HVAC, Audio and Video throughout.

The crown jewel atop this extraordinary residence, however, is the private roof top terrace. With its own refrigerator, a gas grill and pizza oven, this expansive space could comfortably feed and accommodate a sizeable gathering of friends, family, and acquaintances or serve as the backdrop for an intimate evening at home while offering the ambiance of city lights and open air.

234 East 70th Street is a modern boutique condominium built in 2011 featuring full-floor residences. This luxurious yet stylish building showcases a black granite facade as well as oversized Norwood mahogany windows and doors. A video intercom security system and keyed elevator entry offer security as well as discretion, and the newly completed 2nd Avenue Subway is moments away.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
